Anyone know more about this?

"Hey, Sports Fans!
Is your enthusiasm for sailing so intense you never miss the occasional sailing segment on ESPN? Unfortunately for those of us who like to watch sailboat racing on TV, our sport doesn't produce gripping footage; proof is in the numbers, as ratings don't exactly soar. A larger sailing audience would command more coverage; imagine viewing a channel dedicated to sailing. The America's Cup gets the best spots on TV, but the next Cup is scheduled for 2007. So what's a sailing fanatic to do? Stay tuned for the CarbonCat Racing League, a new outfit promising high speeds, exciting shoreside racing, and TV coverage."

We do we sign up? The boats are made right here in Boston.

I can't find any info. I'm in the Boston area as well (Salem) and this caught my attention. Barry, what are you sailing? Where abouts do you race?

I currently race an Nacra 20 and a Hobie 14. Looking for a DN ice boat as well. I raced in MA,RI,CT,NH and FL this past year. We race all winter in Newport on Hobie 14s. Our racing schedule can been seen on NENSA

Stillwater design near Boston is building the cats. I believe they are firebird catamarans. Heard the rumor this summer that it was in the brew.
I'm sure Ken and Dave are really happy building them to!
